Motorola XTS 5000 FPP Feature

[alien11]

I currenlty have an XTS-5000 Model# H18KEH9PW7AN

It does not have FPP feature, can I add this feature using the programming software?

No you can not.

Did you put the flashcode into Akardams decoder to see if it is flashed for FPP?

It would have to be flashed with Q52/Q53 by either Motorola, or someone with the right equipment and software.

To allow more features, XTS 5000's require a FLASHport upgrade obtained directly from Motorola. They would require your specific model, serial, and flashcode. Normally feature upgrades are restricted to the original owner of the radio.

R09 firmware was the last to allow option Q52 only for FPP, anything later then that will require both option Q52 & Q53. You CAN NOT program a R09, Q52 only, radio with CPS newer then R09 or you will lose the FPP function on the radio and it cannot be restored.

Hope this helps.

There is a way to roll back to R09 after a newer version has been used. Some reading on P25.ca will show you the way.
